4. Females will not be pregnant or lactating, and females of childbearing potential and males will agree to use contraception as detailed in Section 6.6.
5. Where doses exceed 10 mg or where the maximum systemic exposure for any individual subject is predicted to exceed that at the NOAEL of the male rat, male subjects must be sterile. For the purposes of this study, sterile male subjects will include those who have had a vasectomy performed at least 90 days prior to the screening visit and have documentation of azoospermia.

10. Use or intend to use any prescription or nonprescription medications/products, including St. John抯 wort, vitamins, minerals, and phytotherapeutic/herbal/plant-derived preparations within 14 days prior to dosing,unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator (or designee).
